Karen added: “The cats are also monitored closely but are lucky enough to have air conditioning. Last but not least our rabbits are given frozen bottles in their enclosures, and veggies to keep them hydrated throughout the day.”

The shelter has also issued the following advice:

Provide a cool place in your home for your animals if you have air con use it, if not fans and cooling blankets work really well too.

Keep your rabbits and guinea pigs in the cool and give plenty of veggies as this will help to keep them hydrated.
